Re: Okay... now who do we want to be DC?

We need to keep an eye on the Buffalo HC situation. If Mike Sherman gets the job, there's a strong chance that he'll bring Bates along as DC (they worked together last year in Green Bay). The other candidate for the Buffalo HC job is Dick Jauron, who also is probably in the running for the Rams DC job.

Re: Okay... now who do we want to be DC?

I gotta go with Bates. Success has followed him from Dallas to Miami to GB, so right now he'd be my choice.

Re: Okay... now who do we want to be DC?

My head told me that men like Jim Bates, Dick Jauron, et al. are more logical choices; but my heart leans toward Mike Singletary. Just something about his demeanor, his intensity (remember those EYES!!), and I believe his type of physicality and focus is just what the doctor ordered for our pansy defense. I'm not so concerned about his lack of X's and O's; a person like Singletary will pick those up just fine. Playing defense is all about attitude and Mike Singletary was all about "attitude".
